Mated to the Alpha Twins

Read Mated to the Alpha Twins [by Jane Doe] Chapter 26 – I cringed, but telling him about Frank was a lot easier than telling him about Grace. Frank couldn’t torment me anymore, not with me being forced to live with Garrett. Grace on the other hand could still manage to get to me.

“Frank likes to drink.” I shrugged, “He gets rough. I ran and locked myself in my room. He was trying to break down my door so I climbed out the window and jumped.”

“You jumped from your window?” Garrett’s voice was calm.

“No.” I replied, deadpan. “I jumped from the roof.”

“That fact makes no difference.” Garrett growled under his breath.

“Look.” I sighed, “Don’t go playing the caring father card. Seriously, for my sanity don’t do it.”

This entire conversation was giving me a headache. My heart was being pulled in so many different directions, I wondered if it could withstand all of the torment. ‘Only a few more days’, I told myself. Then I’d be in the wind, not a single person to worry about.

Two devastatingly handsome faces walked through the doors to the restaurant, making my heart skip a beat. I choked on my drink, nearly spewing soda across the table. Alec and Kade strolled through the front doors, stopping in front of Cameron to be seated. It was as though they could feel my eyes on them. The two of them looked up at the same time, meeting my eyes instantaneously. They didn’t even have to search around the room. They were like one person with their movements. Their eyes flickered from me to Garrett, and finally back to me. It took all of the willpower I had in my body to peel my eyes away from theirs, only to meet another familiar pair.

Grace was walking through the front doors, Autumn on one side and the dark haired girl on the other. She too met my eyes instantaneously. A cruel, s**t eating grin spread on her face as she waited behind Alec and Kade. Her eyes were glistening with knowledge, with superiority. It seems she hadn’t noticed my healed face, but that didn’t surprise me. She probably only noticed my fear, and how I practically reeked of it.

Cameron sat Alec and Kade at a table, but Alec shook his head. I couldn’t hear what they were saying, but I quickly figured it out when Cameron sat them at the booth across from us. I had a clear view of Alec and Kade, and boy was it hard to keep my eyes off of them. The two of them continued looking at me, having their own hushed conversation inbetween glances. Cameron gave me an apologetic smile as she walked away, and I nodded once in her direction.

Grace, Autumn and the other girl were seated at their own booth, not much farther from Garrett and I.

The restaurant was feeling much too small. My own personal h**l would be complete if Melissa and Frank walked through the doors. With how this afternoon was going, I wouldn’t be surprised by anything.

Tori came out with our food, setting it down in front of us gingerly. I looked at the white alfredo sauce and tried not to breathe too deeply. My stomach was in knots, making me feel nauseous and somewhat sick.
